How does your child's school announce acceptances?

I manage our small public HS college center. This year we have devoted a bulletin board to posting logos of all the colleges to which students are accepted. They are not associated with names, (and if someone asks me “who got into…?” I don’t tell because of privacy–unless a student says its ok) and we put up as many logos as acceptances, which means the state flagships have a lot of logos on the board. My printer recently was broken, so there was a three-week period during which I didn’t post the logos and the students and staff were all clamoring to get the new logos up. Everyone seems to enjoy seeing the colleges, and it is great for prospective parents and students to see the success of the kids, from community and vocational schools to “big” names. I haven’t heard a negative comment yet.
